Chelsea to send Callum Hudson-Odoi on January loan

Premier League hotshots Chelsea are prepared to let Callum Hudson-Odoi leave Stamford Bridge on a loan deal in January, Sky Sports reported.

The 18-year-old winger showed plenty of promise during the preseason under Maurizio Sarri but ultimately failed to break into the first team and could be allowed to leave this winter in order to gain valuable first-team experience.

The Blues will send the promising teenager to a team towards the bottom half of the table and not to a direct rival for a place in the top six.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of the hottest English prospects and would be an exciting option for a host of Premier League clubs with Burnely and Southampton standing as possible destinations for the teenager.

Callum Hudson-Odoi made his Premier League debut under Antonio Conte last season but has yet to be given a first-team opportunity in the league under the new manager.
